    Hi Dilly, you needed special contact lenses called torics.
    Toric lenses have two types of correction in them, one to correct for the shape of your cornea, and the other to correct for either nearsightedness or farsightedness. Because they have some rigidity and thus keep their shape easily, your eye care professional may suggest gas permeable (GP) lenses if your astigmatism is pronounced. Conversely, very mild forms of astigmatism may be corrected with regular, non-toric lenses. If your level of astigmatism falls somewhere in the middle, soft toric lenses, which are available even in disposable lenses, might be the best option for you.
    If you and your eye care professional decide that contact lenses are the best choice for your astigmatism, be aware that because they require more complicated fitting and have two levels of correction in them, both the fitting and the lenses themselves will be more expensive than other contact lenses.
